Edited by Frankie Stein, the star of Monster Fun was, without a doubt Kid Kong. But,
this is the best of the rest, so who were the other stars of Monster Fun?

Freaky Farm - There's nothing lovely about the animals here, yet the farmer doesn't
seem to see the problem with his animals...
Brainy & His Monster Maker - A machine that can "monsterise" anything, people or
objects, and by monsterise we also been in size as well as features.
The Little Monsters - causing choas wherever they go, worse then all the toddlers in
the world put together
Creature Teacher - Somehow the kids weren't scared of this monster teacher from
Massacre Street School
Major Jump Horror Hunter - On the hunt for the worlds scariest monsters
Dough Nut & Rusty - Two robots - one state of the art, one a little worse for
wear but the latter always came out on top

The Award for Most Promising Strip:

Aside from all of the lucky strips to arrive in Buster in November 76, there were
other good strips left behind. I've only got one Major Jump, Horror Hunter Strip, but
it is very funny, when the Major goes hunting for the fearsome Beezle Conk, who is
actually pretty harmless until he reads his description in the Monster Book. Brainy
& His Monster Maker were quite imaginative, but possibly the best strip from
Monster Fun were the Little Monsters. The strip invariably ended with a half page
picture showing chaos - those Little Monsters lived up to their name!

The Award for the Most Disappointing Strip:

With the limited material available from this comic, it is hard to choose. But
Creature Teature disappoints in my opinion. From the bits I've read it doesn't sell
itself well. A Monster in charge of a class, but the kids play up so badly....surely
this Monster would have had something gruesome it could do. But then again, I've only
seen a handful of strips - it could well be one that grows on you.
